Highlife Automatic Cosc, BLUE DIAL, 39mm - FC-303BL3NH6B

The Highlife Automatic COSC timepieces are designed for everyday use and offer a variety of dials and cases.

COSC CERTIFICATE
COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certified watches are rare. This certificate is issued only for models capable of guaranteeing perfect isochronism at a given time and in certain positions—that is, the ability to display the time correctly, consistently, and precisely, within the strict limits imposed by an ISO standard. The COSC is an independent Swiss organization that issues chronometer certification to timepieces that have undergone extensive testing over several days. COSC-certified watches constitute an elite class, a class apart, intended for collectors for whom "Swiss precision" is a daily necessity. The Highlife Automatic COSC model was developed specifically for them.

DISTINCTIVE QUALITIES
The Highlife collection draws on several key elements from Frederique Constant's long experience, revisited and enhanced: a new case design, interchangeable straps, and a refined globe decoration on the dial, which can be admired in every detail thanks to the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. These distinctive qualities, which distinguish all the models, open up new horizons for Highlife.

DESIGN
The Highlife Gents models have a 39 mm case, available in a variety of materials. The lack of lugs allows for greater flexibility and helps the watch sit naturally on the wrist. The integrated design is infinitely more complicated to conceive than any strap with lugs. The process requires perfect continuity between the lines of the case and the links, a smooth, even yet gradual transition to the clasp, and a natural flow that should be almost imperceptible.

AN INGENIOUS STRAP SYSTEM
Frederique Constant introduced the first models in the Highlife collection over 20 years ago. The unique design featured a special strap integrated into the case. Since then, the brand has reinvented this ingenious design and relaunched the collection, thanks to a system that allows the steel bracelet to be swapped for a leather, suede, croco calfskin, or rubber strap, switching from classic to sporty in an instant!

A SOPHISTICATED DIAL – A MEANINGFUL AND UNIFYING DECORATION
All the new models in the Highlife collection feature a decorated dial, each featuring the same image of the globe to harmonize the collection. A symbol of the Earth, of harmony, of the perfection of the circle, it is also the icon of a new generation sharing the same ideal of protecting the planet and a sustainable and sensitive lifestyle. This ethic is in line with the philosophy of Frederique Constant, which has always supported reliable, high-quality watches that are portable and accessible to everyone.
